Nonso P.o.v

I and my private investigator both sat in the car and waited.

Waiting was the hardest part. Who knows whether that waiter would have stopped the proposal before she accepts.

This afternoon. My private investigator had told me that Michael was planning to propose to her today so I had to take action.

I couldn't just allow it.

I hired some thugs to smash the car and make it look like a robbery while the private investigator tries and snatch the box without Michael knowing. All has gone well now we wait.

Few seconds later Michael was out, Osas and Boma on his trail.

She looked pretty in her dress. From the looks on her face I could not tell if she said yes or not. I'll ask her later.

Micheal was yelling. They were both yelling.

I clenched my fist. How dare he shout at her.

She was heading to the official car. He didn't follow her.

A smile reached my face. With this it will be best time to tell her the truth and my feelings.

Soon... You'll be mine.

Seyi P.o.v

I was looking for dad when I entered his study. He wasn't there.

I roamed round the room. Looking for nothing and something in particular.

There was a drawer that was locked. Hmm...

I checked the top of the shelf a smile reaching my face.

Dad should have learnt not to be keeping keys there.

I unlocked the drawer.

Should I be doing this ?. What if it's really private ?.

I opened the drawer and picked up a file. Before I could open it I heard an approaching footstep.

I quickly locked the locker and dropped the key back.

I hid the file among the books on the shelf.

"Hey son. What are you doing here ?." Dad flashed me a suspicious look.

"I was looking for you."

"Seyi !" Zina voice boomed from wherever she was.

Why is she causing a scene.

We both headed out and saw her downstairs.

"Why are -"

"What is this ?."

She threw her phone at me and I and my dad watched the video.

It was me and Ola's boyfriend.

"What's all this ?." She asked angrily.

"We just got into a fight." I explained calmly.

I noticed my mom approaching.

"Had a fight?. What's he saying about you not being in love with me ?. Is it true ?."

I swallowed." He was just saying nonsens."

"Do you love me or your still having feelings for Osas!." She snarled.

How did she -

"I saw your message with her. You have feelings for her don't you ?."

"You have feelings for Osas?." My mom asked. An expression on her face I could not discern.
